Connecting Research in Security to Practice (CRISP) reports provide practical, researched-based techniques to help security professionals tackle a wide range of security issues.
Fatigue Effects and Countermeasures in 24/7
Security Operations
James C. Miller PhD, CPE
Humans are not biologically wired to work at night. Speed and accuracy on the job are only above average between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Come nightfall, efficiency and productivity decrease and safety risks rise. In Fatigue Effects and Countermeasures in 24/7 Security Operations, author James C. Miller Ph.D., CPE, explores the effects of fatigue and night work on human cognitive performance and offers countermeasures that may be used to combat these effects. Miller's research draws from both experimental and field studies conducted with police and others who work evening and rotating shifts, as well as fatigue research conducted by the Department of Defense. The report provides relevant information for security personnel and police in general, especially those who work at night.

Tackling the Insider Threat
Nick Catrantzos, CPP
While malicious insider incidents remain statistically rare, they are potentially devastating to any institution with critical assets to defend. In Tackling Insider Threats, author Nick Catrantzos, CPP, combines a review of the insider threat literature with findings of a Delphi study to arrive at a new approach to defeating the kind of trust betrayer intent on carrying out catastrophic attack to the organization. His insights align with those who advocate the importance of a positive security culture, as he supports a greater role for engaging staff meaningfully in the protection of the organization. His approach, termed 'no dark corners' draws upon a range of others from security practice, and his findings will invite many to critically assess whether they are doing all they can in the best way, to manage different types of insider threat.

Preventing Burglary in Commercial and Institutional Settings: A Place Management and Partnerships Approach
Tim Prenzler, PhD
In this report Tim Prenzler, PhD, looks at how to assess, manage, and respond to burglaries that occur at commercial and industrial sites. While there is a considerable amount written about domestic burglary, research is less in evidence when the locale is non-residential. His report looks at the context in which burglaries occur, and includes a consideration of the burglar's approach. He examines a range of solutions, which aim to make it more difficult for would be offenders particularly in the workplace, and he shows where security managers can have an impact. Drawing together a range of data, he looks at approaches from different levels, from the police, the government, and from those closer to the offence, the "place managers." Those charged with preventing burglary at commercial and institutional settings now have a source of information, which connects research to practice to guide them in their prevention strategies.

Organized Retail Crime: Assessing the Risk and Developing Effective Strategies
Walter E. Palmer, CPP, CFI, CFE
Chris Richardson, CPP
Organized Retail Crime (ORC) poses a significant threat to the economic welfare of the $4.7 trillion retail industry in the United States. Fueled by the emergence of Internet auction sites, lack of effective legislation, and the ability to reintroduce stolen goods in the supply chain, ORC is a growing concern that warrants attention from retail, law enforcement, and legislators. In this CRISP report, Palmer and Richardson summarize previous research, examine measures already in place, and offer a number of models to
guide practitioners.
